NikolaTesla Switch Combination Hob and Extractor

The NikolaTesla Switch is available in either white or black ceramic glass while the central extract area can be finished with either polished steel or cast iron details by rotating the central flap by 360°.

Available in both a filtration and extractor version, it features a simple induction hob with a display that becomes completely invisible when in stand-by mode.   It has all the advantages of induction hobs, such as rapid cooking and easy cleaning in addition to the following specific technologies;

REVOLUTION FILTER This filter is suitable for the most challenging cooking environments, given its superior ability to filter and purify the air. The new Elica technology is able to achieve filtering efficiency of up to 82% against the market average of 60% and can be regenerated for up to 3 years.

SMART INSTALLATION Elica thinks of every aspect of the product, taking into great consideration even the installation phase of a hood, be it wall-mounted,concealed, or an aspiration hob. Assembly and connection operations are simple and intuitive.

AIRMATIC Once the Airmatic function is activated, the product’s intelligent sensor system detects the quantity - but above all the quality - of the fumes produced and sets the most suitable aspiration power.

BRIDGE ZONE This function lets your merge 2 adjacent cooking zones, maintaining a uniform, constant temperature, even when using very large pans.

POT DETECTOR Nikola Tesla helps you save time and money. It lets you know when a cooking zone is on but not being used and turns it off avoiding wasted energy and automatically turns it on when it detects a pot.

STOP&GO If you are interrupted whilst cooking, or you have to go into another room, or you just want a break, with just a single touch of the Stop&Go button you can switch off all the cooking zones and walk away with complete confidence and safety. When you return a single touch will take you back to where you left off.

TEMPERATURE MANAGER Your dishes will always be cooked at the perfect temperature when you use this function that lets you set the hob with three programmes (42, 72 or 92 degrees). The temperature settings have been optimised for both very delicate cooking (mousses, sauces, keeping dishes warm) as well as cooking at high power (boiling).

READY TO CONNECT Some Elica hoods are equipped with sensors and can connect to the SNAP device. If necessary, the hood automatically activates the SNAP to amplify its filtering power , or simply to purify the ambient air after cooking.

TIMER – this is a programmable acoustic warning which will also switch off the cooking zone concerned - it can be used to control just one cooking zone or multiple zones independently.

EGG TIMER – this is also a programmable acoustic timer however it operates independently from the cooking zones.

CHILD LOCK and SAFE ACTIVATION – the hob will only heat up when pots are present on the cooking zones whilst the child lock prevents the hob from being accidentally turned on.

RESIDUAL HEAT INDICATOR – warning lights show if the hob is still warm after it has been switched off.

AUTOMATIC HEAT UP – this means that the hob automatically heats up at maximum power and then reverts to the selected level after a set time to reduce heat up time.
